The building, on the highly visible corner at an intersection already occupied by two pharmacies and a Dunkin' Donuts, is home to the New Jersey Youth Corps. The plan calls to relocate the program to a portion of the district warehouse/office building at 1350 S. West Blvd., which the school district tried to lease out in March but received no bids.

Countless kindergartners launched their academic studies within Oak & Main Road School classrooms as well as at the East Vineland School, located in the 1800 block of Panther Road.

Oak & Main students are sure to remember lunch lady Mildred Crescenzo’s knack for bringing home-cooking touches to school lunches.

And East Vineland School little ones learned about agriculture from a first-hand point of view thanks to their neighbors at Flaim Farms.

The South Vineland School, which stood next-door to the South Vineland Post Office, was demolished four years ago. The district is selling the land at 2831 S. West Blvd.

Gruccio has requested the buildings and property be deleted from the district’s long-range facilities plan and sold. The proceeds of the sales would “provide needed funds for the district’s budget for capital and maintenance reserves,” according to the resolution scheduled for a vote.

The buildings don’t fit into the district’s future plans, said school board president Scott English. Selling the properties frees the district from future maintenance costs and provides some additional cash for more pressing projects. This is not a new idea, he said, noting it's been bantered around for a couple of years.

The proposed sales might spark some sentimental outcry to save the buildings.

“It would be an interesting discussion,” English said.

The East Vineland School, built in 1938, hasn’t been used for educational purposes since 2006, according to district officials.

Gruccio noted the condition of both schools as “very poor.”

In the past few years, the district added Petway Elementary, Wallace Intermediate and Sabater Elementary School to its facilities roster. The Lincoln Road Intermediate School is scheduled to open in 2018.

Gruccio noted in a letter to Executive County Superintendent Margaret Nicolosi “sufficient school building capacity does and will exist in the future to house the school district’s students.”

The school board meeting, a combination work session and regular meeting, begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the district’s administrative office, 625 Plum St.
